  • Doesn’t Understand Basic Buddhist Teachings

    In episode 5, Mr. Patterson offers a flatly incorrect characterization of “Buddhism,” a colonial term that is hopelessly overdetermined. My critique, however, is not so pedantic. Mr. Patterson attributes to Buddhists a doctrine often called “annihilationism” in Buddhist circles. This view, which in part stipulates that “only nothingness exists,” is explicitly refuted by the Buddha of the Pāli Canon (vide Kaccānagottasutta). Furthermore, if he means that “śūnyatā,” as understood in later traditio... more

    That aside, some pretty solid interviews. I see some hate for your ‘narrow’ interview style, but you push back on people... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 112 - The Novelty of the Trinity | Dr. Jared Ortiz
Q: Why might the term homoousias be politically problematic?
Terminology can shift in meaning over time, and while homoousias was initially controversial, it eventually became a key term to define the relationship between the Father and Son in Nicene Creed theology.
Ep. 112 - The Novelty of the Trinity | Dr. Jared Ortiz
Q: Can philosophy lead us to understand the Trinity?
Most philosophers agree that philosophy cannot reach the Trinity's understanding, and we rely on revelation for insight into this mystery.
Ep. 112 - The Novelty of the Trinity | Dr. Jared Ortiz
Q: What perspective do you have on the complexity of the Trinity?
